About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the dealer bond actually guarantees

Selling vehicles in Clark County takes two things: a Nevada state dealer license and a Clark County business license for the location. A surety bond stands behind the operation as a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee — that you deliver clear title, handle customer money properly, and follow the motor vehicle sales laws.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the obligee — the county or the State of Nevada, depending on which bond your license requires — with harmed buyers as the protected parties. If a dealer fails to deliver clear title or misapplies a customer's funds, the harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dealers who keep clean title and good records treat the bond as a license formality. Because the required amount varies by dealer category, you enter the figure your license names and we issue it at a flat 3%.

Clark County business license (vehicle dealer)A vehicle dealer operating in Clark County needs both a Nevada state dealer license and a Clark County business license; a surety bond is required as a condition of doing business, in the amount your county license or the Nevada DMV names for your dealer category. Confirm the exact obligee and amount on your application — we issue the bond the county or state requires.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Clark County auto dealer bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount itself depends on your dealer category and what your Clark County license or the Nevada DMV names — enter that figure and the quote updates.
Do I pay the full bond amount? +
No. You pay the 3% premium. The bond amount is the surety's maximum liability to the county, the state, and harmed buyers — it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
What does the bond guarantee? +
That you deliver clear title on the vehicles you sell, handle customer funds properly, and follow Nevada and Clark County dealer rules. If you fail to and someone is harmed, they can claim against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It's the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way.
What amount should I enter if I'm not sure? +
Use the figure on your Clark County license or your Nevada DMV dealer paperwork. If you do not have it yet, send us the requirement and we will confirm the right amount before issuing.
